Grafikdesigner lieben Musik. Das zeigt nicht zuletzt die große Begeisterung der Leser des Typografie-Magazins "Slanted" für die Rubrik "Typo Lyrics", in der Gestalter Musik mithilfe von Schrift ganz neu interpretieren. Für die gleichnamige Publikation haben sich renommierte Grafikdesigner wie Fons Hickmann sowie junge Talente aus der ganzen Welt von Songtexten zu innovativen Font-Designs inspirieren lassen. Entstanden ist eine Sammlung faszinierender Visuals - "Schriftbilder", die zeitgenössische Fonts auf eine etwas andere Weise präsentieren. Das außergewöhnliche Zusammenspiel von Schriftgestaltung und Musik macht die Fonts lebendig und bringt sie regelrecht zum Tanzen. Im Gegensatz zu klassischen Musterbüchern oder Schriftenfächern wird so ein besonderer, emotionaler Zugang zur Typografie geschaffen, der das große Ausdruckspotenzial von Schriften deutlich macht. Analog zur traditionellen Schriftklassifikation gliedert sich das Buch in elf Kapitel, die sich jeweils mit einer Schriftfamilie und Songtexten einer bestimmten Musikrichtung auseinandersetzen. Graphic designers love music. This is attested not least by the tremendous enthusiasm that readers of the typography magazine Slanted bring to its "Typo Lyrics" column, in which designers interpret music in entirely new ways with the help of fonts. For this publication of the same name, celebrated graphic designers like Fons Hickmann as well as talented young designers from all over the world have taken song lyrics and used them as the inspiration for innovative font designs. The result is a collection of fascinating visuals - "typographic images" that present contemporary fonts a little bit differently. The extraordinary interplay of type design and music brings the fonts to life and practically sets them dancing. In contrast to classical pattern books and font fans, this volume provides a special, more emotional experience of typography and illustrates the great expressive potential of typefaces. On analogy with the traditional classification of fonts, the book is organized into eleven chapters, each of which treats a particular font family and song lyrics from a particular musical style.

Das internationale Schriftschaffen nach 1950 wurde massgeblich geprägt vom Schweizer Adrian Frutiger. Sein Schriftprogramm Univers und die zum ISO-Standard erklärte maschinenlesbare Schrift OCR-B sind Meilensteine wie auch die zur Frutiger weiterentwickelte Schrift der Pariser Flughäfen - ein Qualitätsstandard für Signalisationsschriften. Mit den Corporate Types prägte er Firmenauftritte wie jenen der japanischen Kosmetiklinie Shiseido. Insgesamt entstanden rund 50 Schriften, darunter Ondine, Méridien, Avenir, Vectora.Auf Gesprächen mit Frutiger basierend sowie auf umfangreichen Recherchen in Frankreich, England, Deutschland und der Schweiz zeichnet die Publikation den gestalterischen Werdegang des Schriftkünstlers exakt nach. Erstmals werden alle Schriften - vom Entwurf bis zur Vermarktung - abgebildet sowie mit Bezug zu Technik und zu artverwandten Schriften analysiert. Bisher unveröffentlichte, nicht realisierte Schriften sowie über 100 Logos vervollständigen das Bild. The international creation of typefaces after 1950 was decisively influenced by the Swiss type designer Adrian Frutiger. His Univers typeface and the machine-readable font OCR-B, which was adopted as an ISO standard, are milestones, as is his type for the Paris airports, which set new standards for signage types and evolved into the Frutiger typeface. With his corporate types, he helped to define the public profiles of companies such as the Japanese Shiseido line of cosmetics. In all he created some fifty types, including Ondine, Méridien, Avenir, and Vectora.Based on conversations with Frutiger himself and on extensive research in France, England, Germany, and Switzerland, this publication provides a highly detailed and accurate account of the type designer's artistic development. For the first time, all of his types - from the design phase to the marketing stage - are illustrated and analyzed with reference to the technology and related types. Hitherto unpublished types that were never realized and more than one hundred logos complete the picture.
